A Indiana University professor is trading grades for XP inspired by WoW.

Interesting idea, what ever motivates them to learn.

University? ... what the heck do you learn from university? nothing at all! so i don't see how this is going to make people dumb

I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure...
I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...

When I first read the title I thought a professor was giving out A's for people power leveling his character or something.

After reading the story, I thought of this:

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."

You can dress it up however you like. Homework is still homework. Exams are still exams. Students aren't retarded.
